Wait, there's also a variation on the French braid but with zig-zagged partings. Amazing design.

Ooohh, those are both amazing styles....I'm trying them on dd7 this week! Like others, I'm not so sure I can do them on myself, but glad I have someone to practice styles on!

I love the French Braids, but I don't think I could get quite the same effect on my curly hair... don't suppose any other curly haired people have tried this or something like it?

Those are both awesome.

I reckon the weaving one could be done on yourself. If you part down the middle and do one on each side. It's probably easier doing it from the side than from the back.

I love the first style, thanks for sharing! I would like to see how it goes with arc691's hair - it probably will be amazing and... then I would know that it is possible to do with my own length XD
Hairdresser from second video told that she is specialized at styles with different braids and bridal styles. Oh, how I want to have a such job like she has!!!
By the way, many Russian people knows French braid as a "kolosok", that mean a "spikelet" (if I found a right translation). But I never seen any alternate name for it at this forum, so is there any in English or other languages?

My first attempt on dd's curly (I think about 3a) hair was not successful at all. I wondered if it were the curls or just my poor abilities (on the video she made it look so easy, and when I was pullng it, it just didn't do anything like what she did!). I'll try on my hair which is more straight and slippery and see if there is a noticeable difference there.

Wow I really like how she did the triple dutch braids... that technique makes them look so interesting & unique. Never seen it before. Very cool, will have to try it! I'll post pics if I do. Love how I always find a new hairstyle to try everytime I come on LHC!

Thank you for telling me.

Just in case anyone is interested, I clicked on the username of the youtube account, and the stylist has a couple more braiding videos which are quite lovely.

Also, I started clicking on the suggested videos at the side and found a couple good ones (... all in Russian, of course... why did I have to study French??), so if you can speak the language or don't mind not knowing what they're saying, I think they're worth exploring.

The end result looks way too muuch rat-nesty for my liking. I think it's because of the way she "fluffes" it out or what, or maybe because the hair looks dry and not smooth at all, but, I don't like it much.

I would knot up my hair with that hair do. I'm not the best at doing my own hair.
